Lipo & J-plasma on Calves

I’ll give you the TLDR version first: I’m so happy I had lipo on my calves. They look so much leaner, and I no longer have a bulge of shaking fat when I walk. As I’m in my late 50s, I had J-plasma as well. It’s harder for me to tell if that worked fully; I do have a little laxity, but the leaner look of my calves far outweighs any slight laxity. I highly recommend Dr. Turowski for his work. I’ve had two procedures done by him, and I’m extremely happy with both.

Full review: A few years ago, my calves - which used to never be an issue for me - started to really bother me. There was a bulky bulge of fat on the inner upper part of my calves that shook when I walked. Made me so self-conscious. I started investigating lipo for calves but learned that not all doctors recommend it. More worrisome to me was the fact that I’m in my late 50s, and I wasn’t sure if any of my skin would snap back after the lipo.

I decided to schedule a consult with Dr. Turowski because he had done my lip lift and I was very happy with those results. He was very honest and realistic about the lipo procedure, outlining risks. He told me that he recommended adding J-plasma to help with skin tightening. I was able to talk with one of his patients who had the lipo/j-plasma done on her calves. That was very helpful in my decision.

I’m not gonna lie - the recovery was intense, especially the first week. I still have some residual numbness, but the nerves have been slowly coming back each week. I also have some discoloration on the backs of my calves, but that too seems to be slowly improving.

It is SO great that there are no bulges of fat shaking when I walk. And I love the new leaner look of my calves. A bonus is being able to better fit into fashionable boots.

Hope this review helps others who are considering this procedure.
